    Sandy,

    Just adding my thoughts to everyone else's.  Cancer just sucks doesn't it?  There is just nothing fair about it.  I am so sorry for her family and loved ones.  My prayers are with all of them.

    Hey Girls-just wanted to let you all know that I have to check in to the hospital tonite. Just got back from Surgeon & things aren't good at all-it's the Hernia. I got acouple of hours grace period to get all my ducks in a row...Aurora's Ballet dress rehearsal & photos are this afternoon & I get to watch in the event I don't get out in time for the recital this Saturday. They have some tests to run & CT scan to take, plus do a pic line or central since IV's are extremly hard to get in me & I end up with infections from them...alot is riding on the test results as to how he is going to do the surgery!! I was hoping to make it till Aurora's last day of school-now that doesn't loook like it will happen.  Send me Power Prayers Please & family-I know you all will-that's what is so awesome about our SISTERHOOD!!!!!, like the rest of you, I'm getting pretty tired..I'm going on 3 1/2 years now & looking at surgery number 31.  So...I love you all & will be chatting soon.  Bryan(hubby) will post on my FB for up dates, Jazzy..will you keep the girls informed as well-Love ya & my sister Carol will do the same on my web site.

    Don't forget     120 days till VEGAS!!!!!!

    Take care  Chow  God Bless  (((HUGS))) XOXO Susie

    Aw jeez Susie....your post just jerked me out of my self pity party about a stupid CT scan I have to get tomorrow.  Sometimes I forget just how good I've got it. So sorry that this has become a rushed thing but hopefully the surgeon can successfully relieve you from all the pain / discomfort you have been going thru with the hernia(s?).  Get that sucker fixed and let's lift a drink or two in celebation in Vegas! {{Hugs and Prayers}}.

    Sandy - so sorry about the loss of your friend.  It's never easy and never fair.

    Janice - I hope things are improving for you.

    Susie, I pray that your doctor can finally get that hernia fixed, so you don't have to endure any more of these surgeries. He just has to get you well again; we need our dear friend and party sister back, to keep us counting down to Vegas!

    my special angel was looking over Kelsey and I again.  On the way home from the funeral we hit a large bird.  It was on the ground walking towards the road so I moved over to the open lane.  Just as I did that the darn thing took off in flight and hit my windsheild.  I had glass all over myself but luckly no one got hurt.  Well except for the darn bird.

    you can see how much glass landed between my legs I had this much all over my legs and arms.  I drove another 5 miles until I saw a friend behind me and pulled over and had her give us a ride home.  Happy to say it's all fixed now : )

    ok now I thought I would post some info about our Vegas hotel:

    Whatever cuisine you prefer, you'll be able to satisfy your hunger at a variety of award-winning restaurants at Planet Hollywood. Steak? Check. Seafood? Check. Buffet? Check. You catching on? Eat the very best of whatever you crave.


    At Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino the food is already famous. Executive Chef John Schenk expertly grills prime cuts of beef in the David Rockwell-designed masterpiece Strip House, making dinner the highlight of any day. Or for a little Zen in your evening, stop by the preferred playground of the Hollywood elite, the exquisitely becalming Koi, for perfect feng shui in every bite.


    With delectables from all over the world, Spice Market Buffet is a perennial all-you-can-eat Vegas favorite. Drop into Yolos for a fresh take on classic Mexican. P.F. Chang's China Bistro is on hand serving its signature sensations, either in its dining room or in your suite. And 24 hours a day, Planet Dailies, the most high-tech coffee shop/cafe in town, is ready with over 200 menu items to choose from.


    No matter which side of the velvet rope you stand on, everyone needs a little pick-me-up to keep moving on this enormous planet. Your favorite Starbucks beverage, the sensational sandwich inventions at The Earl of Sandwich, or a world-famous Pink's hot dog (or two) will help you make your appointed rounds.

    The Heart Bar
    The Heart Bar
      


    Is a martini more delicious when served by a beautiful woman in black leather go-go attire? You'll find out if you order one at the Heart Bar located in the center of the Planet Hollywood's sensational 3-acre casino floor. The vibe is electric. Here people from both sides of the velvet rope gather for their favorite libations 24 hours a day in a decadent setting of dark woods and mirrored glass. This may be the best venue for people watching on this or any other planet.

    The Playing Field Lounge
    The Playing Field Lounge
      


    All bets are on. Welcome to The Playing Field Lounge, Planet Hollywood's Race and Sports Book by day and lounge by night. This hot spot features sleek décor with 33 plasma screens, two jumbo screens and a VIP area. And of course, no lounge would be complete without an expansive full bar specializing in yards of draft beer.

    EXTRA Lounge
    EXTRA Lounge
      

    Correspondents and crew from television's EXTRA will mix, mingle and interview celebrities from their new Vegas headquarters, the EXTRA Lounge at Planet Hollywood. It's the perfect place to grab a drink and people watch.

    Monday - Friday, 7pm
    EXTRA Weekend: Sunday at 4pm

    Koi Lounge

Circular, plush gold banquets encompassed by 21 Tibetan hand carved prayer wheels create an atmosphere of elegance, sophistication and relaxation.

    Hi sweet friends!

    Thank you for those who wrote to me wondering where I was..:)

    I have Lymphedema. I am really struggling with this emotionally. I start therapy on Monday. I have an amazing PT. I am blessed to have her here in Kansas City.

    I just wanted to post here and other places on BCO so that those who are writing to me.. know I am alive.. and what is going on with me. I owe that to you, my dear BC friends!

    {{{{LAURA}}}}!!!!  We will be with you ALL THE WAY girl!  Hang tight....prayers are headed your way!!!

    {{{SANDY}}}

    I got to talk to Susie tonight.  Man oh man ....ugh...well they tried to get the picc line in and just couldn't.  I'm so worried about how they are trying BOTH arms!!!!  URGH!!!  The contrast couldn't go all the way because she already has some blockage, but they were able to get a good enough image.  It ends up that she has 2 hernias!!!  Poor thing she has gained 20 pounds and that alone will depress anyone!!  The doctors are not too sure what they are going to do, but she is scheduled for surgery Monday.  They gave her a weekend pass so she could be with her family and watch Aroura in her recital on sunday.  She is on a liquid diet until surgery.  They will decide once they get inside to determine what they will do.  She sounded good and as usual was making jokes about it all, but I know how aggravated she is and how she just wants to move on with her life...LIKE THE REST OF US!!!  She has definitely had her share of bad luck.

    Thanks to all of the love we have for eachother here on our TaTa site.....LOVE~HUGS~THOUGHTS~PRAYERS AND POSITIVE VIBES!!!

    THE TATA SISTERHOOD ROCKS!!!!

    HUGS! Jazzy

    Laura I am so sorry that you have now joined the Swell sorority.  As if BC was not enough a few of us get to carry on with LE too.  If you have not already please check out the Lymphedema After Surgery forum.  We have a wonderful expert over there who helps keep us up with the latest.  Do you know what level you are?  I'm lucky to be the lowest, but can tell you even at that I have days when this %&$# makes me batty as all get out....wait, I'm supposed to be making you feel better - right, sorry Embarassed  Just know you are NOT alone, and with therapy and compression you'll be able to cope.  To all our other non LE sisters out there please understand that this is lifetime stuff.  No cure for it right now.

    Wow Sandy!  That's quite a bit of research there!  I couldn't see the pics, but I'm sure it's lovely.  Yolos sounds interesting, as does Koi.  But then I'm pretty easy as far as food goes.  I'm just not into junk food much, or steak.    As for lounges, I'm up for whatever!  I don't need celebrities, I just really want to connect with all of you!

     Laura, HUGS, sweetie.  I hope you are able to find some relief.  I've heard some good things about PT for lymph.

    Jazzy, I'm glad Susie got the weekend to see her daughter.  I'll be thinking of her for her surgery.

    (((((Laura))))))  I am so sorry that you are having to deal with LE.  Been thinking of you since you posted this what a couple of days ago? 

    Had dinner with my dh for the first time since he got back from Morocco.  He asked me if I was going to Texas to see my granny.  I replied "I haven't decided but by the way, I am going to Las Vegas in October, I already signed up for the trip and I am staying with the same gals again.  Apparently he has American Express rewards to purchase my plane ticket and he was A-ok with me going again, he just gave me a warning about not drinking too much - LOL.
